Episode Synopsis
Send us a textDavid Gory, Co-Founder and CEO of Airbuild, joins us to discuss Airbuild's incredibly innovative and exciting "Project Photosynthesis" pilot project in Green River, Utah. Through the power of algae, Project Photosynthesis creates multiple environmental benefits: 1) it cleans river water by removing nutrient loads, e-coli, and other pollutants; 2) it is a carbon-capture project that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through algal photosynthesis and pyrolyzed biomass; 3) it produces biochar which can be used in a number of ways such as an organic fertilizer and "mulch" to promote soil moisture or as a replacement for limestone in concrete; 4) it also incorporates and repurposes local organic waste providing a service to local municipalities and agricultural producers; and several more bells and whistles. The excitement around this project is palpable - can't wait to see where it goes!Check out the project website: https://www.airbuildinc.com/
